Since winning the 'Stars in their Eyes'
Grand Final 2000, polling nearly one million
votes, Gary Mullen has carved out an excellent
live career for himself as the mercurial
Freddie Mercury. His performance is so astonishing
and accurate that Brian May himself has
written that Gary bears a remarkable likeness
to Freddie, and in more than just voice
and appearance on stage! For the first time
in UK theatre, Gary presents the real live
Queen experience - the sound and the look,
combined with the showmanship, pomp, style
and incredible musicianship that was the
hallmark of Queen in concert. The show features
Gary backed by his superb four piece band
- The Works - hand picked to emulate Brian
May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor, along
with the most spectacular stage set up,
stunning costumes and terrific special effects
- just like Queen themselves.

| | | | Wednesday 12th November 2008 - 7.30pm | | Mick Foster and Tony Allen have been singing and playing together for 30 years. During this time they have performed their way around the world a few times, filmed over a dozen hit videos and recorded 18 gold award-winning albums - not bad for a couple of Irish boys! The duo started back in 1975, making their living playing small cabaret venues around Ireland. The success of their first hit record in 1978 A Bunch of Thyme took the boys all over the world. Since then, Foster & Allen have gone from strength to strength, releasing more consecutive gold and platinum status albums in the UK than any other artist, a track record which has been beaten so far only by The Rolling Stones.
